It's more likely the oil pressure sensor as opposed the oil pressure. You can hook an analog ohm meter to the sensor and see if it also bounces . If not, the problem is in the gauge itself or related circuits. If it still bounces, hook up an oil pressure gauge. If the gauge reading bounces, it's an internal mechanical problem. If it's smooth, the sensor is no good. Or you could take a shortcut and plug in a known good sensor.
